Math and physics meet art in an extremely amazing way!
Physicist Robert J. Lang uses his smarts
 to devise lots of super-cool origami objects.
The art of paper folding just got kicked up a few notches.

The Colorful Cat Studio's Wonderful Watercolors

I must draw your attention to Rachel Byler, a talented watercolor artist.
Rachel, from the sweet town of Hershey in my home state of Pennsylvania, 
calls her shop The Colorful Cat Studio.
Her work is exceptional, as you'll see by these examples.
Notice her subtle changes of different shades, as in the
heron wings and  hibiscus petals. Gorgeous!

Starla Michelle's Bold, Beautiful Paintings

Starla Michelle, Texas born and bred, paints from the heart.

She is an artist whose passion is so evident in her paintings!

Bold, abstract works are her impressions of the world around her.

She introduces bright shades that compliment one another 

while shouting out emotions of happiness and optimism!

Regarding her connection to her art, Starla says, "I love what I do 

and try to maintain a child-like wonder in my work while honoring the Creator."

To define her art philosophy, she shares a wonderful quote 

by Andre Gide as a subtitle on her website:

"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist,

and the less the artist does, the better."

I like that.

Laura Frisk’s Woodblock Printed Animal Pillows

Laura Frisk is the talented creator -through each step of the way- of these fun pillows!

She comes up with a drawing and carves it into wood.

Using eco-friendly ink (of course), she transfers the design onto fabric,

then sews it into a quirky pillow that's totally stuffed with charm!

Ready to add a pop of whimsy to your decor?

How cool is this?

You can order your pillow to suit your fancy-

choose from dozens of colors of ink,

as well as the color of the fabric on the back!

Laura also makes really big pillows...

...and little ones with loops for hanging!

Not only animals - here's a cute cactus!

Here are the 2 ornaments that I ordered for my sweet niece!
